Bird Brain Directions:

You are to think up and draw a picture (colored) of a new species of bird that feeds on a particular food source (on the other side of the paper).  Draw your bird in its habitat.  Be sure to include adaptations in addition to their beaks, such as long legs for a wading bird like the heron.  After you draw and color your bird, write a paragraph (at least 6 sentences) describing what adaptations (at least 4 of them) this bird has to feed on its chosen food source and survive in its environment.
